This weekend, I was able to get our drives, our road, another seasonal road I use to get to work, and my parents driveway all nice and cleaned up. Then it got up in the forties Saturday and Sunday, which almost had everything back to bare ground. It didn't last, of course, so now it looks like I will have to take a day off work to plow again. We got a good six inches yesterday and last night, and enough wind to drift things up pretty good. Is it May yet? At least it looks like we will again get rid of most of it this weekend; the weather liars claim it will be back in the forties again.

Other than that, not a lot going on. We are just hunkered down waiting for winter to be over.

This looks cool. Right now, the graphics are pretty crude compared to what the professionals turn out, but think about the progression in video cameras. Today's $1,000 "pro-sumer" cameras are better than professional cameras costing ten times as much just a few years ago. Same thing has happened in sound equipment: a Mac with iLife can do more than room full of professional equipment could ten or fifteen years ago. I would expect the same thing here. The big studios won't go away, if for no other reason than they own the traditional distribution channel. But the internet is quickly becoming the channel of choice for many people looking for news, music, and literature. There is no reason why video would be any different. Bits is bits.

And I post this without comment. I have nothing to add other than to ask people to think about what you believe, and why.

That's it. Other than to tell everyone to go buy stuff here and here. Please. Our children are starving.
